Block 5. AI in Telemedicine

1

Where AI Fits in a Telemedicine Product — the Map

The six places AI fits in a telemedicine product, what is mature in 2026, and the four compliance gates — BAA, PHI boundary, FDA line, review.

2

Ambient Clinical Documentation: The AI Scribe

How an AI medical scribe drafts the clinical note in telemedicine, where the PHI goes, the BAA and FDA lines, and why human review is non-negotiable.

3

Real-Time Transcription and Captioning for Consults

How medical speech recognition powers live captions and transcripts in telehealth — the accessibility duty, the BAA boundary, and the accuracy bar.

4

Medical Translation and Interpreter Augmentation

When machine translation is allowed in a telehealth visit and when a qualified human interpreter is legally required — the rules, risks, and the BAA.

5

AI Triage, Symptom Intake, and Routing

When an AI triage or symptom checker stays decision support and when it becomes an FDA-regulated device — the line, the PHI boundary, and the bias rule.

6

Visit Summarization and Patient-Facing After-Visit Notes

Drafting visit summaries and patient after-visit notes with AI: the human review gate, plain-language reading level, the PHI boundary, and the FDA line.

7

Remote Patient Monitoring and Anomaly Detection

RPM anomaly detection done right: the wellness-vs-device line, alert-fatigue suppression, the PHI boundary, and bias testing for home-monitoring alerts.

8

The Compliance and Safety Layer for Clinical AI

Clinical AI compliance in four gates: the BAA for the model, the PHI boundary, the FDA support-vs-diagnosis line, and human-in-the-loop bias testing.
